It's no question that Eddie George is a legendary player in football. He dominated at the running back position throughout his career. He's considered to be one of the best running backs in Ohio State's school history, while also holding that same regard for the Tennessee Titans franchise.

Eddie George is now taking on a new challenge, as he's been named the new football head coach at Tennessee State, per SportsCenter.

The 47-year-old former running back is undoubtedly a future Hall of Fame player. He finished his career with 10,441 rushing yards and 68 touchdowns. He played from 1996, where he started his career with the Houston Oilers before the franchise moved to Tennessee and became the Titans. He then retired as a Dallas Cowboy in 2004. From 1996-2003, George never missed a single game.

Eddie George Brings Years Of Experience to Tennessee State

He'll be bringing that tough mentality to Tennessee State. It's likely he implements a strong run game, as that's where he's always found his success. Having him as the head coach should also improve recruiting for Tennessee State, as they aim to build a solid football program with George under contract.

Furthermore, Eddie George is coaching at the same collegiate level as another Hall of Fame player, Deion Sanders. The legendary cornerback is the head coach for Jackson State, so it seems these two will be facing off against each other as coaches.

It'll be interesting to see how George fairs as a head coach. He's been an important voice in the Tennessee Titans franchise, as many credit him for Derrick Henry's success. Early in Henry's career, he was struggling to see the field and wasn't finishing his runs. After a conversation with Eddie George, Henry has taken over the league as one of the best running backs we've seen recently. Based on that, George should be able to motivate his team to secure wins.
